Although we need a visa for Turkey we can always get this at the border so the only dates we really must meet are those where we need to get visas in advance so we need to get to the Iran border (our first must meet date) for the 9th July from there we are on a schedule to make sure we don't miss any of the entry dates where we need visas (highlighted in the table).
The following chart gives our starting place and destination with the approximate distance between places. The date is when we leave wherever it is we are at.
